Problems With Images Using Internet Explorer

If you use several computers with different operating systems or several Internet browsers when you look at websites, you will notice that the same website can look different depending on your configuration. Internet Explorer is Microsoft's Internet browser. You should know a few basic ways to fix common problems that Internet Explorer has with images if you frequently use the Internet. In addition, you should understand common problems associated with images if you are considering developing your own website.

  1. Video Adapter Driver Problems

    • If your computer's video adapter driver is not compatible with Internet Explorer, some images on the Web may not be displayed properly. You may see text overlapping and image or receive a script error. You can fix these problems by disabling some of the extra graphics functionality in Internet Explorer, such as smooth scrolling. Changing your monitor's screen resolution and removing graphics accelerator problems may help too.

    Hard Drive Space

    • You may have problems viewing images on a website in Internet Explorer if you do not have enough free space on your hard drive. Try clearing out your temporary Internet files and removing old files to free up some hard drive space. Clearing out Internet Explorer's cache may also help as sometimes the cache is too large.

    Show Pictures

    • Images may not show on a Web page due to the "Show Pictures" setting being turned off. In the "Advanced Tab" of the Internet Options dialog, make sure that the "Show Pictures" is checked to ensure that pictures are displayed on websites.

    Additional Plugins

    • Make sure that you have enabled the software necessary for each website with image issues. Java, ActiveX, and Javascript are common applications Web developers use to enhance their websites. You should also make sure these are up to date and that you have the most recent version installed.
